Israel plans to take over Gaza City. Starmer says their plan is wrong & they must rethink it, but the UK is still supporting Israel with arms sales, training, RAF surveillance flights & more. Sign the petition: tell Keir he MUST end this support: 38d.gs/hwpb

Sign the petition: Stop all UK support for the Israeli military in Gaza

I've signed a petition calling for Keir Starmer to end all UK military support in Israel.
